When we got in the desert bio dome, it was so hot it evaporated all of the water in the dome. There are lots of cactuses and they smelled strangely nice. It is so realistic with the tumble weed and the animal’s skull in the sand.

Then we went in the enormous one that is in the centre. It contains a rain forest and the smell is tropical from the smell of the Jasmine and all of the other plants like the Venus fly trap. The rain forest isn’t like the desert because there is water and life but they are both hot.

On wednesday i went swimming , at boston pool, after a long day at school i was not up for it. ( im in the swimming club) As I entered ready for training Ian , the head coach, informed us all that it was test night. Nobody liked test night as we have to do 200m butterfly,backstroke,breaststroke and front crawl. ( 200m is 8 lengths) we started and soon we were finished and Ian cheered me up by saying hell decide if i was gonna move up soon. I went home in a very good mood.

FRIDAY

Friday soon pasted by and that was another one of m swimming days but instead it was in the morning before school. As my friend , Emily also in my group, and I walking in to the pool Ian handed us both an envelope with our names on we strolled over to the viewing area and handed are mums the letters. As the end drew near i could not wait to find out what was in the envelope. Sure another it was …… a letter saying that on the 1st june i would ….. be a DEVELOPMENT( the group above me) I new this day would come.Me Emily and 2 more girls were going to move up.

As we saw the gigantic bubbles I wondered what was in side. Was it aliens was it a diffrent world, I was actually a bit nerves, was it a friendly place ? I got closer to the entrance and the doors opened.

The first thing I saw were giant trees the sort you see on the tv on white soft smooth sandy beaches. There were flowers and plants everywhere the smells were like blossom and fruit. It was sweet and made you want to float.

There were paths in between the different plants and and I followed the path along. It climbed higher and at the top there was a waterfall. The water was splashing down it was sensational! This place was a tropical paradise.

This is my favorite book because it tells me all about The Dark Angels and how to play that army. My favorite scene is when The Dark Angels have raided the Tyranids and the Tyranids had the advantage and more troops, because The Dark Angels, flyers and tanks were still coming in.

The Codex tells me all the rules I need to know to be able to play the game.

It gives you ideas on different paint schemes and techniques to paint your models. All the models that are in the book have been painted by professional model painters called pro-painters.

Me and Ben like to look at the rules we don’t know yet and make up new armies.

Suddenly the pain in my arm was so bad, I couldn’t cope with it any longer. So I went straight to the doctors and he said “rest your arm and I will arrange a hospital appointment for you in three weeks time”.

So I went home and rested my arm and waited until it was time for my hospital appointment.

To my surprise, the appointment came in a few days. I went to see the doctor at the hospital who looked over my arm. He thought all the machines weren’t working because he couldn’t find anything wrong with my arm. So he looked at my arm closely, and it only had a bruse.

Charlotte was at mine and we decided to go out on the bikes and we got lost about half way there but then Charlotte spotted a strange thing in the distance she said ” it looks like a giant dome.”

So we peddled over there to the thing over in the distance. And when we got over to it we saw a group of giant domes , we looked inside and couldn’t believe our eyes.

Everywhere we looked there were hundreds of giant snakes slithering around on the floor. They were sticking there tounges out and hissing at us so we went home and then Charlotte went home with her mum.

The amount of things to do outside is so incredible from p.e to exploring the enviroment.One of the best activities is Eco art. Some schools dont get a change to enhance there learning by doing it outside.Every one should have an oppitunity to learn outside from y1 to y11.

Outdoor learing boosts your learning right up into the atmosphere.Depending on the activity , it can encourage your team work rapidly and the fesh air is great for your brain. Out side kids can learn how to read the book of the country side by exploring the world. However , when gardening you are caring for nature whilst having lots of fun. Doing writting out side is also wonderfully good . Instead of struggling for an idea theres so many ideas out side so your imgationation can run wild.

There are a few bad things as well. Firstly in bad weather theres not a huge viroty to do. Health and safety is annoying but sadly you have to stay safe. Also you need plenty of adults surevision ( incase something happens there has to be a resonable amount of adults)

Thats a few reasons why outdoor learning is important and I think all schools should have to do it. Its a great oppitunity for everyone!

It was a Saturday morning and i was sooo exited because me and my mum were going to a GIANT garden centre, and gardening was my favourite thing. When i arrived at the palace of plants i cold feel the excitement running through me. As we walked closer, i could smell all of the tropical scents. When we got inside it was like a humongous paradise, with waterfalls and the most beautiful plants you could imagine. I told my mum ” I want to work here when i’m older”. But i could’nt work at the Eden Project… It is an expensive jurney!!!!
